A Grand Army man went to the scene of the tragedy and there was nothing in the lay of the land whereby YOUNKINS might have fallen and injured himself. The McALPINE boys claim to have seen YOUNKINS in company with two other men near the place where he was found, shortly before Samuel W. BUNT found him.

No money was found on YOUNKINS' person although he received about $75 as pension money during the afternoon. . . . The life of YOUNKINS, if written, would be as interesting as that of any man in the state.

During the early fifties he settled at Clay Center, Kansas, when its only inhabitants were the wild Indians, and his only amusement was found in the chase of the buffalo.
